New pope — Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina will be known as Pope Francis. He is the first pope from the Americas.

White smoke arose from the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican this afternoon, and the peal of bells was heard across Rome, around 2 p.m. our time, and around 7 p.m. at the Vatican: A new pope has been chosen.
White smokes signals the election of a new pope.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, who will be known as Pope Francis, was elected the next pope. He will be the first pope from the New World.
National Public Radio reported the papal selection came on the fifth ballot of the 115-member College of Cardinals.
The crowd went wild after Pope Francis accepted the post, announced his new name — Francis I — he will assume as pope, and prayed.
He asked the blessing of God, the Madonna, and the people upon him.
Pope Francis will lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, and he will represent a spiritual leader to many others.
The new pope, who is 76 years old, has been a cardinal since 2001.
NBC News reported he is the Argentine-born son of an Italian railway worker. He's seen as a compassionate conservative, who reportedly came in second during the 2005 balloting that elected Benedict XVI.
Father Tom Connery of St. Peter Catholic Church in DeLand said this afternoon that like most people, he's still taking it all in.
"May God's grace be with him," Connery said of the new pope.
Connery added, he likes the name "Francis" that the new pope selected.
St. Francis was associated with reform in the church, and he was "very humble, very gracious," Connery said.
He added, St. Francis reached out to the Muslims, which will be important for the church in years to come. "I think that will be important."
St. Francis, who lived in Italy in the 13th century, founded the men's Franciscan Order, and helped found the women's Order of St. Clare. He was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant who rejected wealth and lived in poverty, helping the poor.
St. Francis is also the patron saint of animals and the environment.
Bishop John Noonan, Bishop of Orlando, sent out a notice that states:
"Pope Francis has chosen the legacy of the great saint of peace whose attraction to people of all faiths provided great progress for the new evangelization. Pope Francis is a strong choice to represent the voice of Christ in the world. As a son of Ignatius, he knows that God is to be found in all things.
"We pray for Pope Francis that he may continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit in all matters and the example of Christ will be a guide for him. May the Peace of the Lord be with us this day and always."

I never knew I was a Muslim...is that a compliment? Actually I would rather be a buddist, nothing ZEN..okay.
At least you never accused me of being a bloody vicious christian. Actually real christians are rare, I have met very few that actually even approach what a real christian should be. You might visit the website ASK JESUS.com there you can enjoy computerized B/S from the bible.
Hey ...dummy, the UNITED NATIONS just announced the violent vindictive USA's drone strikes are illegal in Pakistan. Does this mean the arrogant imperial USA has to respect borders of other nations as they murder people?
What does your worthless bible say about drones and death from the heavens? Should the evil Pentagon rent the sky from GOD so our sick christian monsters can kill from there?
This rulng from the UN means that arrogant imperial USA will just be more secretive as they murder people they suspect as being 'bad guys'. The US Air Farce just announced they will quit announcing the drone strikes....that is how stupid they are. They actually announced they will quit announcing drone strikes right after the UN finally says something about our vicious ugly murders from above. Of course we are the GOOD GUYS...sure Good Guys with a lot of blood on our hands ..far more than the Bad Guys.
The numbers are out... american/adult children....our last two wars cost over THREE trillion...money we STOLE from future generations thru BORROWING. Americans love their children as they STEAL their future through borrowing...because we are the Good Guys.
Tell your precious children how your greedy corrupt government has spent THEIR money on REVENGE in Pakistan,Iraq,Afgahistan, YEMEN or where ever else we are killing and bombing.
Look up the statistics rotten hearted christians....see how many innocent people your bombs have killed in the name of your ugly high tech God.
Our christian heroes killed 2 million Vietnamese in that war...no big deal they were just bad guys....not like imperial american good christians. We have been conditioned to think we are the good guys...God Bless America..sure. I wish GOD could stack up the corpses of just the children this nation has killed in carpet/nuke/napalm bombings alone...stack em right there on the White House lawn. Let our wonderful Christian good guys smell the corpses.
We are the enemy we seek....a crumbling military empire built on illusions and borrowed money.
Go lock your house, your car and your imagination as the truth grinds this nation of idiots to pieces.. Who knows we might finally find the enemy we are in love with.

أمتنا هي امبراطورية متغطرسة العسكرية الذين يعيشون على تريليونات المقترضة. إن الأمة التي يدعي بو "في ظل الله" عندما يكون تحت الجشع.
هذه الأمة هي في حالة حب مع الحرب وانها الأرباح، وليس في حب الله أو أي أنبيائه.

وأنفقت هذه الأمة المريضة 3 تريليون دولار مقترضة على حربين في العراق وأفغانستان وفقدت لهم على حد سواء على المدى الطويل. ما هي chrisitians الخاص يسمى قائلا عن ذلك ... لا شيء لأنك تمثل سوى الرضا الروحي وحالة الغطرسة الراهن.
والذي يسوع القنبلة؟ نسأل قطيع الخاص بك من الأمريكيين عن ذلك في جميع أنحاء العالم، وغالبا ما قنبلة. كيف كنا على الأبرياء 9/11/01 عندما حصلت على هذه الأمة الطب نفس هذه الأمة قد يطلق بها لسنوات. شعبنا الأبرياء لا تقل الأبرياء من إلسس] أي شخص أن لدينا قتل.

هل أنت رجل الأغنام والخراف ... مفكرا أين القطيع الخاص بك؟ ما قيل لك للتفكير السيد المؤمنين و؟ يد من كنت طفلا، والوقت ليكبر.
لا بارك الله في أمريكا أم أنها الامم المتحدة الأمريكية تطلب؟ قل لي يا رجل الكريم وابنا لله.
@ Francis
Doubting Thomas forgot to ask the question, WHAT IF they had put Jesus through a blender after they removed him from that cross...could God unscramble him and send him to heaven? It is a moot question because they had no blenders but it is a good question.
"Debate in a civil manner"...are you serious there is no debate. You claim a god and heaven prove em...you cannot because it is fantasy for fools that want to believe it. The intellegensia has always manipulated the foolish and ignorant through religions from day #1. The POPE is no different from your local Witch Doctor or Pastor except in style and symbols. Should I mention the 'popemobile' complete with its portable throne?
You say I go too far...perhaps I do not go far enough.
Our nation is a arrogant military empire living on borrowed trillions. A nation that claims to bo "Under God" when it is under greed.
This nation is in love with war and it's profits, not in love with any God or his prophets.
You so called christians are worried about what happen to Jesus 2000 years ago and do little about what is happening today.
15,000 americans were murdered last year by the most dangerous people on earth ...other americans. Not one american was killed in this country last year by foriegn terrorists just american terrorists did the killings.
This sick nation has spent 3 trillion BORROWED dollars on two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has lost them both in the long run. What are your so called chrisitians saying about it...nothing because you represent nothing but spiritual complacency and status quo arrogance.
Who would Jesus Bomb? Ask your flock of americans that bomb worldwide and often. How innocent were we on 9/11/01 when this nation got the same medicine this nation has been dishing out for years. Our innocent people are no less innocent than anyone elses that we have killed.
We claim the moral high ground but live in the statistical low ground if the statistics include body counts.
God Bless America...sure as all others must move to the back of the bus to the Imperial Americans and their self proclaimed goodness.
We are sending drone deaths from the heavens to our 'so called' enemy as we devour ourselves at home. The USA has a lot of blood on its hands to be accusing any others of terrorism.
As a child I was told how people in other nations are brainwashed.....as if the mental conditioning of our youth through government and social means is any different.
God Bless America....really...are these alleged blessings permanent and which America are we talking about?
The USA is still one of the greatest empires of world history and has had many great achivements but greatness is not permanent and look at our direction and momentum as we blindly entertain ourselves into the future with a mouthful fantasy.
Are you a "Doubting Thomas"?
The term is based on the Biblical account of Thomas the Apostle, a disciple of Jesus who doubted Jesus' resurrection and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced (John 20:24-29). After seeing Jesus alive and being offered the opportunity to touch his wounds, according to the author of the Gospel of John, Thomas then professed his faith in Jesus. For this reason he is also called Thomas the Believer. The Biblical account then reports that Jesus said, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Please refrain from putting down others who believe but have not seen and cannot answer all your questions of this world. Each of us has a right to believe in whatever we want and not be persecuted for it - just like you. Debate in a civil manner is fine, but you go way too far.
@ Vito
What up Vito.....you still living in that hole?
God is watching you and may take a large dump right in your corn flakes.
I been trying to save you...
LOST?
Steer me to your favorite WITCH DOCTOR,Priest,pastor,ayahtollah,mullah or other con man and myth hustler.
I need a short cut to heaven....
Now get back into your flock and follow the rest
@ god's child
Which god? Is god's picture on a $100 dollar bill..it should be because that is what we really pray for. Heal the sick, feed the poor, cash the check.
Who pays the power bill at the vatican as they count the gold and silver?
Speaking of gold, what is god's favorite airplane..the B-29,B-52,B-36,B-17,B1,B2,F117,F4,F35....shall I go on about god's peace and love? Does god bless a nation of high tech killers as they 'clean kill' from their heavenly drones? God Blesses America and its holy revenge. Killing from a camera in the clouds, god's backyard.
What 'god fearing nation' is famous for carpet bombing, nuking civilians,napalm and chemical attacks...all in the name of god,democracy and peace? Does your god bless such a nation as it drone kills people that it suspects might be bad guys? Killers killing killers..has a nice ring to it, maybe god has a sense of humor with his brand new cycle of death from the super heroes at the pentagon.
I got you thinking maybe, perhaps you can quit swallowing ancient foolish myths and start thinking for yourself. The difference betwen the POPE and a Witch Doctor is style not substance.
If god is your shepard then what are YOU?
Are you a sheep man, a sheep thinker...where is your flock? What have you been told to think Mr. Faithful and by whom? You are a child,time to grow up.
Does god bless america or is it un-American to ask? Tell me oh Holy Man and child of GOD.
Sounds like you want to stir some a nasty debate with between view points...sorry your life is boring. If you truly believe in what you wrote...why do you care what most of the world thinks. Let it be. Live and let live. Get a real life.....Personally, I would rather believe and find out there is no God than not believe and find there is.....but......one day we'll all know the truth. May both of you find God's peace soon. PS I noticed both of you gave enough respect to use a capital "G" in God. Says a whole lot...find another subject to stir up comments with. xoxoxox

حيث كان الروح القدس على 9/11/01...maybe كان يوم عطلة؟
الاستماع إلى تلك القمامة عن القديس العظيم السلام ..... لا يوجد مال في السلام .. نسأل أبطالنا كبيرة في وزارة الدفاع حيث أنها تعطي الهدايا للوفاة من طائرات أمريكية بدون طيار في السماء.
والذي يسوع قنبلة؟ اطلب من حثالة التي تعمل الحكومة الأمريكية لأنها قنبلة، والتجسس والتعذيب وسجن الناس زورا وثم اتهام الآخرين بالإرهاب. أعتقد أن كل تلك الأسلحة النووية في B52 وهي للحب والسلام .. جزء من روحنا وفاة المقدسة.
صلاة من أجل السلام .... السلام من الرب .... يا له من الفخار من الكنيسة الكاثوليكية B / S....The هو كذبة أخرى يتفق عليها حفنة من البلهاء التي تحاول الحصول على غرفة في السماء مع وجهة نظر .
الروح القدس، قدم كبير ووحش بحيرة لوخ نيس كلها أمثلة مثالية للغباء الإنسان والجهل.
أموالي على وحش بحيرة لوخ نيس ضد البابا في صفعة قوية في الفاتيكان الفائز اتخاذ جميع. إلى جانب إلهي أفضل من إلهك وضعف المقدسة ... كل ما يعني المقدسة.
New POPE? just another old JESUS PUSHER with a funny hat.
They should have a young hot supermodel for the new pope.....that would bring some intrest to a dying religion.
People would rather see that than a buncha old child molesters like the Catholic church is famous for.
What if the POPE had on a baseball cap and blue jeans?
What if they had blue jays instead of cardinals at the Vatican?
What if the Jesus Hustling/ supreme being businesses paid taxes on their income?
If God is so great how come he never hit the mega ball LOTTO?
Who cares? The pope is just another politician/CEO in a expensive Jesus franchise.
Where was the HOLY SPIRIT on 9/11/01...maybe he had the day off?
Listen to that garbage about a great Saint of Peace.....there is no money in Peace..ask our great heroes at the Pentagon where they give gifts of death from the US DRONES in heaven.
Who would Jesus BOMB? Ask the scum that run the US Government as they bomb, spy,torture, falsely imprison people and then accuse others of terrorism. I guess all those B52's and nukes are for love and peace..part of our holy death spirit.
Pray for Peace....Peace of the Lord....what a crock of B/S....The Catholic Church is another lie agreed upon by a bunch of idiots that are trying get a room in heaven with a view.
The Holy Spirit, Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster are all just perfect examples of human stupidity & ignorance.
My money is on the Loch Ness Monster vs the POPE in a smack down at the Vatican winner take all. Besides my God is better than your God and twice as Holy...whatever Holy means.
